The OG games worked because they were sandbox war games set in the SW universe. They gave us the vehicles and weapons from the galaxy far, far away...put us on a familiar battlefied... and let us go crazy. The newer ones worried too much about being cinematic and delivering experiences tailored to modern pvp shooter fans. The sublime mix of infantry, flight vehicle, and ground vehicle action just wasnt there. Nevermind the excruciating monetization missteps made by the EA higher ups. It boggles my mind til this day that they fumbled such a straightforward concept. The blueprint for the experience was there in the originals. All they needed to do was expand the scope

And even worse, with how cancerous our culture has become, if they're not purposely doing the bare minimum for the greatest return-churning out lackluster mediocrity at best for $70 a pop-then they're infusing politics and "diversity" and "inclusion" into whatever it is, like Alan Wake 2; the game where you have to spend the first 4 hours playing as a never before mentioned black woman FBI agent before playing as *Alan Wake* who you then play as for like 30 minutes . . .

They also released it with heavy encryption and failsafes to prevent modding the game and have repeatedly refused to even allow people to make mods for it too. It's like EA just wanted the mercenaries IP to die as publicly as possible and humiliate pandemic as much as they possibly could. They even shut down the only update, which gave cheat codes almost as soon as they released it like they just wanted to fuck with people one more time and removed the game from all storefronts, including origin. Greed I can understand, but this just comes off like mental illness aggression... They really are the most psychopathic company in the world when you think about it and that says a lot.

I think one of the largest issues with BF 2018 that for some reason no one talks about was false advertising. Shows scenes that never happened in the game to advertise it as a true “Empire Perspective Story” that Star Wars fans like me want since we’ve already have 15 million rebel perspective stories and the Empire is just awesome (Before Lucas Arts/ Disney ruined them by making them ungodly stupid and useless).

Their ‘story’ was nothing short of a desperate sad excuse of a sequel trilogy marketing campaign. Do you really think this game sold that many copies because people were excited to see that imperial chick? She was on the cover, but I guarantee you people were only interested in George Lucas’ Star Wars. The prequels and original trilogy. People wanted to be a stormtrooper partaking in the events of HIS movies. One who’s going to die for the Empire’s ideals without being a pathetic traitor. But we can’t have that in this new princess era of Star Wars.

It comes down to this for me; Bf1 (2004) is VERY good, best maps! So many vehicles including flying vehicles on maps and FIRST PERSON view vehicles! It’s essentially a battlefield game with Star Wars outfits to me, incredible (still play today) Bf2 (2005) is only better to me personally cuz of the variety of game modes and DLC. Only 1 map with flying vehicles (Hoth) and only on one team, so bf1 has the best maps to me personally for that. Space mode is lame without Mods and I can’t do mods I only have Xbox One Bf (2015) I do love the skirmish modes and that it’s also split screen, only 2 factions and 7 maps which is lame but I can’t lie, I love the vehicles! Shame there’s no a.i. for the heroes in this game. Bf2, while I do applaud their efforts post launch for instant action mode, no maps with flying vehicles is a major shame, since they have them online. And no split screen = not truly instant action to me. And I of course LOVED the Galactic conquest modes in the old school bf games!! Keep in mind I only have Xbox / Ps2; I’ve never been able to experience mods Bf3 would’ve been incredible to see based on the footage that was released.

Well, thanks to increadible modding support of 2005's Battlefront (or almost any game of that era), you can easily get all BF1 maps in BF2. There are also a ton of mods that add stuff like 1st person vehicle or even whole new eras like "The Old Republic". Modding is actually the thing i miss most about 2000s gaming. Even when a game itself was mediocre or simply overplayed, modding added so much creative stuff. And all for free. And nowadays people pay up to thousands of bucks for weapon skins in Counter-Strike. Gaming is simply not the same anymore. Some things obviously improved, but the lack of modding in modern gaming is such a huge step backwards.

Unfortunately one false statement and one false calculation on reddit ruined the whole series... For those that don't know, paid loot boxes were already removed from the game before it launched, and the contents of the loot boxes had been adjusted for the open beta (as disclosed by EA before the beta) so that people could try out stuff that wouldn't be in them after launch. There was a reddit post that calculated the time to unlock the most expensive hero in the game, but he calculated the time based on not playing in a match, just standing in the character select throughout a full round of the beta ( which also had reduced gains).
